Yes, they have, and despite my comments earlier, as close to the original as they could get given modern H&S requirements. There's been a law in London since 1666 (Great Fire) that no thatched roofs are allowed. The Globe was, very grudgingly, allowed dispensation, on conditions that included an extremely effective sprinkler system. I've been there a few times now as an annual treat, and loved it. Never as a groundling, mind you - I had the luxury of a narrow, hard, bench, and a roof (which gives no protection if the rain is driving in at you).

I would normally think of a plinth as a base on which some important object (a column or statue) sits.
